Suffering

There is no need to go through suffering at all. When Christ has done it for you – finished. You just have to awaken Christ within you. Count your blessings one by one. It’s not such serious stuff.

Guru and Mother

You are really fortunate to have a Guru, which is a Mother. And my Mother and Guru is this Mother Earth which teaches me how to deal with human beings.

Seeing others

Those who are on the emotional side see the egos of others, while those who are on the ego side see the emotional side of others. So one criticizes the other. But they don't see themselves, that they are falling into a trap, into one of the extremes.

Joy

People get confused with emotions. Joy can only be achieved through complete detachment. The detachment which is without Ego and Superego.

Negative aspects of Ego and Superego

Separate yourself as Spirit and look at your ego and superego. Start watching the ego and superego – do not maintain them, they are the destroying forces. Now when you see the play as a witness of these destroying forces you will know how to also maintain yourself better.

Balance

The wisdom or the essence of Guru Tattva is a balance. Like when you maintain a plant, if you do not give it water it will die, if you give it too much water it will die.

Divine play

The Divine play is not frivolous, it is joyful. And the joy does not have that duality.

Humility

Humility is the sign. See the humbleness of the Divine. How it is trying to please you and amuse you and make you happy

Respect others

It is a very subtle enmity that you carry on in your hearts. That cannot be forgiven. If you say sarcastic things to others, you are not in the culture of Universal Religion. You should be respectful. The more respectful you are to each other, the better it will be.

Peace within

Only the peace within can register whatever is auspicious, whatever is nourishing for your growth. So try to make peace with yourself. Do not fight with yourself.

Meditative Mood

In meditative mood you are alone. No one exists there. You alone. And once you enter into that ocean then the whole world becomes your family. The whole world is your own manifestation. All the children become your children. And you treat all the people with equal understanding.

Spiritual Ascent

So rise now. You must rise above your petty, small mind. Rise up to the point where you should know you are going to save the whole of humanity. If you cannot feel that, it is better to leave Sahaja Yoga.

Meditation

And the more you find something in your meditation, the more you want to go and distribute it to others. That has to be. If that does not come into you then it has not worked out, there's no purity.

Spirit

You only have a horrible time when you are not the Spirit. If you can watch the whole thing as a drama that is played, then you are not having a horrible time, but the outside of you is having a horrible time and you are watching.

Ego

You should never fight the ego. If you try to fight it, it will sit more on your head. That is not the way to fight it. Never fight your ego.

The only way is to see it.

Compassion

I have seen people what want to have compassion from me; they want that I should love them. But reflect it back; do they love others like that?

Temper

This is the mantra for you, for controlling your temper, you have to tell yourself, ‘Ya Devi Sarva-bhooteshu, Shanti Roopena Samsthita’ So Shanti is the point, the axis point is that, from where you witness everything.

Peacefulness

Peacefulness can never mean cowardice, nothing can transgress it, nothing can overpower it. It is never, never possible that cowardice and peace can go together.

Rationality

Now to blossom, to become fragrant, you have to give up rationality.

Love

Love is the main thing. When there is love, there is energy, there is patience and there is wisdom. Love has to be there first.
